James Harden is headed to the Cavaliers in a deal that returns Darius Garland and a second-round pick to the Clippers.
The move, reported by Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix, swaps two former All-Star guards and puts the 36-year-old Harden in a win-now situation with Cleveland despite Los Angeles’s recent resurgence. The Cavaliers are in the middle of a jumbled Eastern Conference, sitting at 30–21 and in a tie for fourth place ahead of the final 30-plus games of the regular season.
